It is not serving any legislative purpose. The committee\u2019s only objective is to attempt to damage its political opponents \u2013 acting like the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee one day and the DOJ the next.<\/p>\n<p>The committee has demanded testimony from staffers who applied for First Amendment permits. It has subpoenaed the call records of private citizens and their financial records from banks while demanding secrecy not supported by law. It has lied about the contents of documents it has received. It has held individuals in contempt of Congress for exercising their Constitutional right to avail themselves of judicial proceedings. And now it wants to interview me about public statements that have been shared with the world, and private conversations not remotely related to the violence that unfolded at the Capitol. I have nothing else to add.<\/p>\n<p>As a representative and the leader of the minority party, it is with neither regret nor satisfaction that I have concluded to not participate with this select committee\u2019s abuse of power that stains this institution today and will harm it going forward.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>McCarthy\u2019s decision not to participate in the committee\u2019s investigation comes on the same day the committee sent McCarthy a&nbsp;<a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/january6th.house.gov\/sites\/democrats.january6th.house.gov\/files\/2022-1-12.BGT%20Letter%20to%20McCarthy.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">letter<\/a>&nbsp;requesting he testify about his conversations with President Trump in the days before and after January 6.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced on Wednesday that he has \u201cconcluded to not participate\u201d with Rep.
